Thanks for your response this problem is occured becasue Inbox folder is full with 4 GB after comacting I am able to receive mail.

There isn't a fix 4 GB limit. However, it's best practice not to let grow mail folders indefinitely. The 'not enough disk space' error can also be an indication of mail folder corruption. So make sure you always have a recent backup of your Thunderbird profile folder.
